I think greninja is most popular. Their was a favourite pokemon competition and greninja won out of the 720 pokemon. This was before sun and moon came out. Least popular Pokémon is simisear

Anyway why hate on charizard? Why do people hate the popular Pokémon like pikachu, lucario, greninja, charizard, salamence, aegislash, pheromosa, garchomp, celesteela, metagross etc. Everyone goes “OMG ITS A (insert popular Pokémon) I HATE IT!”

While I do have to agree that calling a team weak because no charizard is plain dumb. It’s actually the worst starter choice in pokemon red and blue because it’s has a rough time at the first 2 gyms. It’s actually bulbasuar that is the best starter choice
